What are you comparing it to?

Higher ranked universities and colleges are usually on average academically more challenging than lower ranked universities and colleges. I would not expect Reed to be quite on the level of MIT or Caltech or Chicago. I would not expect it to be any more difficult than Bowdoin or Wellesley College. It is however quite a good school and all good schools are going to expect quite a bit from their students.
